Andrew Finn Magill and Alan Murray

For twenty years North Carolina-native violinist/fiddler Andrew Finn Magill has been pursuing parallel careers in traditional Irish music, Brazilian choro, jazz and American fiddle.

Alan Murray has shared the stage with such artists as Karan Casey, Eileen Ivers and Scotland’s Battlefield Band and has toured extensively across Ireland, Britain, Europe, Australia and the United States.

Alan has joined us here in Yachats previously  with Caitlin Warbelow, and again with Cillian Vallely.

We are delighted to have them here together this year, and we’re sure you will be too.

Lisa and Aryeh have been with us before and we are always excited to have them come back. Masterfully combining Celtic harps, Swedish nyckelharpa, Ukrainian bandura, bouzouki, cittern and more, they will take you on a journey through the history of Celtic music, with their unique show and  wondrous stories and humor.

Breabach

Breabach remains securely ranked amongst Scotland’s most skilled & imaginative contemporary-folk acts and at the forefront of the burgeoning traditional music scene.

Versatility, love of experimentation, and a willingness to push the boundaries of Scottish roots music, have endured as the core values of the band  over the past two decades.

With 8 critically acclaimed studio releases to date and an extensive global touring schedule, Breabach’s journey shows no sign of slowing. They continue their adventures with performances and festivals across the UK, USA and Europe.

DREOS

As performers and teachers, the three members of Dreos have been at the forefront of the Pacific Northwest Celtic music scene for decades.

Combining the blazing piping of Eliot Grasso, virtuosic fiddling of Brandon Vance, and powerhouse accompaniment of Glen Waddell, Dréos offers listeners exciting, handcrafted music in a living tradition, and brings audiences and students into a centuries-old cultural-artistic dialogue.

“Born in Dublin, Ireland, grammy award-winning and BBC Award-nominated vocalist and songwriter Susan McKeown is widely acknowledged as one of the most powerful and innovative voices in folk music today. In a distinguished career, she has performed at Glastonbury, The Edinburgh Festival, Carnegie Hall and the Walt Disney Concert Hall and had her music featured on on PBS, NPR, PRI, BBC and RTE. Susan joins us with her trio featuring Kyle Sanna  ( https://www.kylesanna.com ) and Matt Mancuso .”
 

É.T.É

The fruitful meeting of three young musicians with vibrant artistic journeys, É.T.É propose a dynamic and contemporary vision of Québécois trad music. With influences from jazz, progressive rock, and classical music, violinist Élisabeth Moquin, bouzouki player Thierry Clouette and cellist Élisabeth Giroux create their own trad universe with original compositions and unique arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire. Their rich vocal harmonies, their groove, their ease at their instruments and their electrifying simpatico onstage creates an unforgettable show.

We are very excited to be able to present these outstanding musicians to you this year.
